Maintaining Builds at Scale
As the quantity of code grows, so does the complexity of managing it. Even if you do everything right, follow every best practice, never make a bad design decision, scale brings problems. Modern software projects have extensive lists of first and third-party dependencies and tools. Each dependency has its own usually unpredictable cadence of releases and vulnerability disclosures. As complexity increases, these costs scale exponentially. Software engineers must constantly strain against these tides or be swept away to obsolescence. In this talk, we will explore practical strategies and tools for automating the maintenance and modernization of builds across extensive codebases.
We will dive into using OpenRewrite, a powerful set of tools for automating updates to code, data, and build logic. Using OpenRewrite, organizations can perform framework migrations, update dependencies, and integrate new tools such as Develocity, all while maintaining consistency and reliability across thousands of repositories.
Discover the challenges faced, accomplishments achieved, and the path ahead for maintaining builds at scale. Join us to learn how OpenRewrite can transform your build maintenance practices, ensuring your projects remain robust, up-to-date, and ready for future developments.
